6. Candy Cane Bath Salts

If you want something that leaves your skin tingling and invigorated, try a peppermint bath salt like this one! It's so refreshing, you won't ever wait until the holidays to use it – although it does make an excellent Christmas gift! Actually, this recipe is specifically designed to make a lot, but you can easily half it for yourself.

CEO's tip: use a heavy-duty stand mixer (such as Kitchenaid-brand) to mix bath salts easily. Set mixer to lowest setting and mix until color is even--but don't try this with hand mixers or smaller stand mixers!
